Fulfilling your bodybuilding dream without the help of whey protein nutrition is next to impossible.

Step By Step Guide To Make Whey Protein At Home

Here is your detailed step-by-step procedure to make Whey protein at home. Though it might look a little messy at first, but it's not that complicated at all.

Whey protein is basically nothing but a high-quality complete protein, which is mostly found in dairy products. Milk consists of nearly 27% protein, wherein 80% is derived from the casein and the remaining 20% comes from whey. Cottage cheese, one of the most commonly used dairy products in Indian homes is made by separating cheese from the water. That remaining water is high-quality whey protein, thus you should never discard it. Instead, you can use it for making soups, gravy, etc, while cooking.

Step 1 - To make whey protein at home take any milk product like yogurt, cottage cheese or buttermilk. Here we are taking an example of curd, but the process will remain same for any of the milk products that you take.

Step 2 - Take an empty container or bowl and place a small strainer over it.

Step 4 - Pour yogurt over the cloth into the strainer. Cover the strainer with plastic wrap and keep it in the refrigerator overnight of for at least eight hours.

Step 5 - After eight hours or next morning, take the container out of a fridge and remove plastic wrap. The hardened material in the strainer is called yogurt cheese, whereas the yellowish substance collected in the bowl is your home made whey protein.

The only department in which this homemade whey protein supplement lacks will be the taste. It will be bland, tasteless and even sour in some cases. But, there will be no compromise in its nutritional value. There is no harm compromising on taste sometimes when it comes to health and saving a lot of money on store bought supplements.
